Welcome to the Wednesday’s Favorites post. In the Wednesday’s
Favorites post I will talk about a book I loved and that I think deserves a
little more attention. I read popular books, but also many books that aren’t so
popular (yet). In this post all sorts of books from all sorts of genre’s will have
a chance to shine. Today’s Wednesday’s Favorites is ‘The Miss Mirren Mission’ by Jenny Holiday, a book I read in April 2015.
The Book:
Loving her would be his downfall..
withdrawn, and endlessly fascinating. Yet as an integral part of London’s
underground spy ring intent on defeating Napoleon, Blackstone has no mistress
but the cause.
Miss Emily Mirren is considered “unbiddable” by the ton. She wields a fierce intellect, which she channels
into her own secret cause—writing an abolitionist newspaper column under a male
pseudonym.
When Emily’s aims clash with Blackstone’s, they stray into a dangerous game of
attraction and subterfuge, and secrets are the going currency. And in order to
complete the most important mission of his career, Blackstone must thwart
Emily, even if it breaks both their hearts.
The Facts:
Average Amazon Rating: 4.1
Praise for ‘The Miss Mirren Mission’:
turned out to be a great gamble and a great book – a regency era romance with a
compelling hero and heroine and an involving plot to boot. 4 out of 5
Stars.
Miss Mirren Mission’ is a fast-paced, entertaining story that pairs an
intelligent, determined social reformer with a reclusive, somewhat grouchy earl
– who also happens to be a crack spy.
only is this book a great romance but I also really enjoyed the way the author
slowly reveals the characters secrets. There was definitely a lot of mystery in
this book and it made me anxious to read more and more.
really loved this book and couldn’t stop reading.

About the Author:
awesome hippie teacher, between sessions of Pete Seeger singing and
anti-nuclear power plant letter writing, gave the kids notebooks and told them
to write stories. Most of Jenny’s featured poltergeist, alien invasions, or
serial killers who managed to murder everyone except her and her mom. She
showed early promise as a romance writer, though, because nearly every story
had a happy ending: fictional Jenny woke up to find that the story had been a
dream, and that her best friend, father, and sister had not, in fact, been
axe-murdered.
From then on, she was always writing, often in her diary, where she liked to
decorate her declarations of existential angst with nail polish teardrops.
Eventually she channeled her penchant for scribbling into a more useful format.
After picking up a PhD in urban geography, she became a professional writer,
spending many years promoting research at a major university, which allowed her
to become an armchair astronomer/historian/particle physicist, depending on the
day. Eventually, she decided to try her hand again at happy endings—minus the
bloodbaths.
